The Niskanen Center develops evidence-based policy and advances these ideas through direct engagement in the policymaking process. We have our talented staff and scholars to thank for our accomplishments to date.

We are flexible but fast-paced, committed to questioning our ideological assumptions against the evidence, and dedicated to supporting our staff in building their careers.
